After getting bored with my car in general I decided it was time to tear her down again. There were a lot of things I wanted to change, some things I wanted to add. But most of the time I just did what felt right at the time.

This was one of the last times it was driven.

Then the fun began.Poor thing



My first step was to remove all the sound deadener, and strip all the unnecessary wiring.



What I didn't need



More to come...

To answer some questions yes I did convert it to RHD. I did it three years ago, when I was still in High School. As far as plans go, I’m just making it more of a dedicated drift car. I have my Q45 to DD now. And thanks for the complements.

Got it up on jack stands to start stitch welding

Then decided to do some cutting

And why would I cut my tubs out?

For new ones of course.

And after I sprayed it with Toyota electric blue paint.You can also see that I had to move my PS reservoir. So now it sits next to the BMC on the driver's side.

Nevermind the paint of the rear quarter panel. I was screwing around after I painted a valve cover for my girlfriend. (vertbish on here.)

More pics… made a new home for my BLM’s. Got tired of the carbon fiber one I made so I went a different route. Some fleece, pvc couplers, and some fiberglass resin.







And I now have some real power for my fuel pump…

Advans are gone. Sneak peak of new wheels. (note these are the rears both on the passenger side, fronts have not made it from japanland yet.)
